Just a procedural with zero insight about the man. All filler no killer. Reading wikipedia will give you the same information. I suppose if you already know a lot about the case and are still fascinated, you will enjoy the author's access to the investigators.

This was an excellent true crime book, covering the life and crimes of Israel Keyes. It was written with some depth and more in the style of a novel than a pure true crime book, and it worked.

Deep dive on Israel Keyes. If you’re not really into true crime this probably isn’t for you. I am and I loved it.

Quick easy read on one of the most vile serial killers. I remember hearing about Samantha Koenig when she went missing and then following all the developments in the case and how it linked to an unsolved murder in Vermont that I was also following (can you tell I follow a lot of True Crime?). So glad this monster is no longer walking this earth.
